I've had this for 2 months now [attachment=13781][attachment=13782][attachment=13783][attachment=13784][attachment=13785]Finally got round to getjng some pics and putting it on here.
It's a ph1 xud I love it only mods as yet carbon wrap roof unsure on that as yet but came like it
it's running a bosch and k14 running around 30 psi lda ground not Gov modded yet but poss this weekend happening. It's got a dash mounted boost gauge abit in the way so guna move that to the vent soon it's got some rubbish steels painted white and a jap can which I also don't like but not changed yet. Also got a universal cone filter on there and I picked up a xantia manifold today along with a full fmic kit that should also be fitted this weekend wether permitted
Also has a boost leak making.it laggy haha let's try and find that
Get a proper front number plate and itll look 10000x's better
Some good plans there, looks like a good base as well but like connor said loose the licence plate
Yeah i know I make plates at work just one of those things haven't got round to yet haha might try some pressed ones see how.they look
Needs dechavving but should be a good base. its the best colour so get it cleaned up and it will look a lot better.
As said, looks like a good base to start with, lose the crappy plate and the jap can, get some lows, and its pretty much there....can't help but think those wheels might look alright once they've had a clean, and the cars sat lower.
It had a clean yesterday and does look better not the best clean but better haha I've got some springs here already just not had a chance to fit them as yet
Give it some lows and normal number plate and this will be pure win
Right so Monday a drunk pedestrian decided to chuck his bottle at my windscreen obviously I stop collared him being 6 foot 5 18 stone made him tell me his name and address and the long and the short of it is I.now have a new windscreen free of charge courtesy of his employer haha [attachment=13795][attachment=13796][attachment=13797]

Small update but sadly no pics got carried away got Into it and forgot all photos haha but spent all morning lowering my beam and fitted springs on the front rear is abit low but I will survive
I reckon it's about 90-100mm on the rear and 70-80 on the front all in all I'm pretty happy I'll get a pic up in abit how it's sitting at the moment
[attachment=13928][attachment=13930]
right i'll be the first to say it, you've gone a bit far on the back haven't you? . .
. . .whack it back up 40mm and it'll look great, and handle better . . .
far too low on the rear. it looks broken.
Felt spec ftw!!
Nah thats too low haha
Haha I'll admit that attempt one result abit low but can only be easier second time round can't it
Leave back fix front by lowering it
then some cyclones
Picking up some cyclones when I'm back off holiday
Quick update nothing really happend been to Egypt for a week got back last night late and after work today popped out to pick up my clones they look alright only 50 quid and someone owes me a set of tyres so as far as I'm concerned that's a deal
[attachment=14238]
Looks broken/irish... fix it
get the front down a tad, and raise the rear slightly. keep the steels they look awesome.
cyclones are boring now
Needs cyclones in some funky colour...gold?!
Rear does look bit crap, but fair play for having a crack yaself

Cyclones have always been a bit "meh" IMO....speedlines are better, or (if you're not fussed about wheel weights) Lasers.
But yeah, i echo the cries of "too low at the back", and i thought mine was bad!

true story. speedlines FTMFW lasers not so much, tbh im surprised a car can move when they are fittied. like having elephants as wheels
Lasers weigh more than the car...
True enough, they are the heaviest wheels i've ever known!
Haha the steels are 15's so guna keep them repaint them I just don't like steels I will be painting the clones but nothing to fancy I don't think they would look right with the blue car maybe dipped in a cool pattern
the rear will be raised abit saterday along with the front brought down abit the front top mounts I've f*cked up some how haha so gota come back off again
good to hear, i love 406 steels had them on my xsi. then jonny had them, then samass, then ginge, and now they are still sat on chris' 205 haha
Leave the back deck the front
Cyclones boring..? I see more 205 wheels on 306s than cyclones now...
I.wanted 205 gti wheels but can't find a cheap set local to me I think the speedlines look good on a ph1
